Investment Q&A

Q: Hi, I have a question about Blackberry. The company seems to have multiple decent software, but the problem seems to be in the sale departement. The newly president is a software sales specialist, and right now he seems to build a new sales team. Do you think he can be the missing part to see high growth sales again for Blackberry ?

Q: Do you think Tech my trade sideways for a while as the valuations may have to catch up? I am overweight Tech still and i am finding it hard to sell some of the stocks that have been good to me. Which sectors might you overweight or lean to now with the news that some vaccines may be out in the next 3-6 months?
Thanks

Q: Would appreciate your assessment of their Q2 results that were released on 11 Nov. Thanks as always.

Q: I see Zoom as a company with a user friendly product compared to (Sykpe for instance) that most everyone is using. Despite vaccine news which has dropped my Zm stocks into the red, it appears that they have a great product that will still be popular going forward after the pandemic. I see businesses possibly staying with a work remotely model as it saves them money for infrastructure, etc. The question is, will it likely stay as popular and is it likely to get back to close to it's highs any time soon, or would it be better to take the hit, sell and revisit when there is more clarity. Some context: I'm a senior who is using Zoom and a few others as a means to put a little growth in my otherwise low Beta portfolio.

Thanks as always, Stephen S

Q: Thoughts on SWAV ? Thank you.

Q: Hello, I have been holding Intel for more than 5 years now. According to what I read in the Q&A I believe the time has come to sell it and buy something else. Would that make sense to buy Roku to replace Intel? Another option would be either NVDA or QCOM? What would you do? Thank you, Gervais

Q: Greetings

For 2021, I am thinking of adding FIVG to my TFSA.

To date this ETF has done well.

Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Sincerely

Mike

Q: Hi Team, Without considering any factors other than growth who would you invest in NVDA or CRM and why?

Q: Hi 5iTeam - I was checking Insider holdings for Kinaxis and noticed a net selling total of $64 1/2 million. The CEO increased his holdings in the summer but the CFO's holdings have steadily declined. Other officers hold close to 0 shares and the holdings of the directors are low. First of all is this information accurate and secondly is it a concern. In summary what is the overall insider holding of Kinaxis.
This question does not include options. Thank you.

Q: Hi team,

With 22 tech stocks weighting some 34% of my portfolio, I assume you would recommend that I rationalize my approach for a better diversification, both in my tech sector and in my portfolio as a whole.

To accomplish that, while keeping a strong growth approach, could you indicate which are, in your view, 1) the « must own » stocks, in order of importance 2) those which could be dropped because of « double emploi » or high risk, 3) those missing to properly cover the tech sector ?

Please feel free to use as many credits as you see fit.

Gratefully yours,

Jacques IDS

Q: Dear 5i Team: This stock, since interview with its CEO on Mad Money with Jim Cramer, continues to rocket higher. Could a small position in this innovative company be worthwhile? Thanks so much.

Q: Hi 5iR team,

Piggybacking on a question asked on Nov 10 about their recent quarterly results.
Do you have any concerns over yet another financing from DND? (the financing release came out Nov 11 after the question was asked).
They just completed one in Sept for $50 mil and now another one for $175 mil. I assume this is targeted for future acquisitions....but never assume. ;)
I do like the cloud space and they are targeted for 60+% growth next quarter so that appears attractive.
I did initiate a 1/4 position @ $21.75 and plan to do so each quarter if the Q looks good...and if it is still on your 'good' list.

Cheers,
SteveMc

Q: latest results looked good- but if they are losing money why declare a dividend? is the latest equity raise a game changer- very large infux of cash. at $20 how does its valuation compare to similar companies- thks

Q: Hi,

I hold a 2.5% position in NVDA after selling half to lock in my original costs. I'd like to pick up another high growth chip maker/developer/fabricator, and the listed companies are on my watch list. Ideally the company would have a great balance sheet (net cash), a pipeline of great products and great opportunity for growth - no dividend needed. Can you endorse one or two and/or recommend something not on the list?

Q: Hi, Could you please comment on PLTR earnings and why did 5iresearch invest in it ? thanks

Thanks

Q: Can I please have your comments on CGI's recently announced earnings. I am a long time owner of this stock. Is it worth keeping? Thank You.

Q: Hi gang, would you put any money on any one of this 2. ? And if you had to buy only one which one would you buy today for 2-3 years hold.and why? Thanks. Alnoor

Q: Hi 5iR Team,
Ok, this is a three horse race between KXS, ENGH and GIB. 5iR what do you think the bookies odds are on these horses as they approach the gate. Is one is a dark horse? Will they go neck and neck down to the wire, a photo finish? Perhaps one of them just can't go the distance while another hits their stride? In other words 5iR how do you see the race going and which horse would you bet on to win or is it an each way bet (bet on all three) ? Thanks 5iR Cheers

Q: I have to add US tech exposure (missed the boat) and only 4 percent which translates to $350,000. I already have 60 holding (total portfolio) which is already high but I’m ok with it given the size of my portfolio. Which would you pick? Should I just buy all 4 at 1 percent holding increasing to 64 holdings or pick just 1 or 2?
